Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.0
Severity: normal
Hello,
The end of section 6.7.9 contains a mistake, or is unclear. It says:
Note that the Debian package should depend on the package that it
provides debugging symbols for, and this dependency should be
versioned. For example:
Depends: libfoo-dbg (= ${binary:Version})
This is backwards. The _debug_ package should depend on the package(s)
providing the programs or libraries matching the symbols it contains.
The example should read:
Package: libexample-dbg
Depends: libexample (= ${binary:Version})
Thanks,
--Joe
